That is correct that Strava doesn't smooth the data from an uploaded file. To me, the activity you linked to looks like typical GPS accuracy issues, where the signal strength is weak or the GPS is only connected to a minimum number of satellites.

I'm brand new to Strava... recorded my first ride today. Love the app. I ordered an Apple Watch 2 series last week figuring that it would be compatible to Strava, but just now learned it's not. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Consider this another vote for lyncing the two! And an update from your Oct 3 Official Comment would be greatly appreciated!

can we get a little more product roadmap/plan info here please? "looking into" isn't helping. just got my Apple Series 2 watch and am now considering other, non-strava, options for the first time since... well... strava :).

this obviously isn't a technical challenge, but I'm curious if Apple won't permit Strava from doing this, in favor of cramming people into their own Activity app.

Just bought my Apple Watch 2 (AW2) today and was excited to go for my run for the first time without having to hold my iPhone! Tried using the Strava app and it would not work without the iPhone... I had to resort to using the native Apple Workout app on the AW2, but unfortunately I can't upload it to Strava easily :(.

My friends and I all use Strava to track our progress for our 2017 Marathon that we are all going to run together. I am looking forward to an updated Apple Watch Strava app that doesn't require an iPhone to track a workout!

Keep up the great work Strava Developers and I hope a new version comes out soon :D

Honestly, at this point, if @Strava just enabled the ability to read Apple Health's Workouts (same as MFP, Garmin, etc.), I'd be happy as a temporary fix. If we could sync between @Garmin and @Strava apps before, I don't see why this would be difficult. Right now, when using my new Apple Watch though, the @Strava app is worthless to me. I'm not going to run with my phone.

If @Strava doesn't update soon, I'll be cancelling my @Strava subscription and moving along to something like Runkeeper, who has already updated their app...

I returned my apple watch a couple of weeks ago due to this so Im still using my Garmin, I'll consider buying an apple watch in the future but for now I can understand that the app hasn't been updated, what I can't understand is that we have received any news from Strava as to when it might arrive, Strava?????????????

I tried Pear and I'm fairly disappointed. Interface is poor and it's hard to know which click means start (it's actually the question about Bluetooth headphone support). First run tracked ok but had to use Strava to crop it as start and end were wrong. Second run sort of tracked. Came up as zero kilometres but if i go into Pear I can see my route. Strava has nothing. Heart rate info also missing but on Apple Heath the average heart rate is recorded so I think this app is pretty much and alpha product at the moment. With that in mind I will temporarily go back to Fitbit with Strava which does generally work.

Seriously Strava - can you please provide an indication of your plans with regards the Apple Watch 2. I can't imagine what strategic advantage you would lose if you confirmed your plans, given that Pear already run native on the watch. Try to imagine how frustrating this is to your Apple Watch 2 owning user base? Let me give you a clue - ITS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!!!

Well, Nike did it!Today (Friday) the Nike AW2 will is released, so they updated the Nike NRC App. Now you can use it without the need to carry your Iphone with you. It works with the watch's GPS. Actually it's a very basic app but it works.

Now Strava and other companies (Runtastic, Runkeeper, Endomondo, ...) are challenged.Every day they don't update their app might be the day a customer leaves and changes to Nike.

Sorry folks, you know the deal. When we are ready to release news about Strava and the Apple Watch 2 standalone GPS app, you'll be first to hear about it. In the meantime, we're making progress on this topic at Strava HQ, so thanks for your patience.

Guys, I read the comments and I think you don't know Strava development team enough. They're really, really slow to release any new functionality to their apps. Heck, they took something like 4 years just to release the photos upload feature! They really need to empower their development team but, as I said, it's a well known problem. I don't expect that the AW app with the GPS support will come before december.
